Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments

For eighteen year-old Gemma, life has never been normal. Up until recently, she has been incapable of feeling emotion. And when she's around Alex, the gorgeous new guy at school, she can feel electricity that makes her skin buzz. Not to mention the monsters that haunt her nightmares have crossed over into real-life. But with Alex seeming to hate her and secrets popping up everywhere, Gemma's life is turning into a chaotic mess. Things that shouldn't be real suddenly seem to exist. And as her world falls apart, figuring out the secrets of her past becomes a matter of life and death.


I thought it was so good! One of the best YA I’ve read In a while. Great story great characters still so many answers to uncover! Alex was push his luck for me sometimes he just grated on my nerves a little. But all in all a very good start to a promising series plus a new author for me too!

“Gifted” was an absolute joy to behold and I was captivated from the very beginning. Never once does the story veer into absurdity, rather, it sticks with sensibility and is a faithful rendering of real life

I’ll be honest, it took me a few chapters to get in to this book. Once I did, I was hooked! Ove reminds me of my grandpa so much!! And that ending, I cried like a baby. You leave this book wishing that you had a neighbor like Ove living on your street. What an amazing, well written, real life character.

I'm not a huge gamer but know enough to have been able to follow this. I went in really not knowing what to expect and was pleasantly surprised! This was an intense movie with a lot of 80s and (obviously) video game references, likable characters, and a nice blend of animation/CGI and real life. Now I've got to get the book!

Very honest
Emotional
10/10!
This is one of my favourite real life books. I love how it's written like a diary. The author is very honest, the stories are a mixture of funny, serious and emotional. The end is also very sad. It's a really eye opener. I wish this book was longer. I could easiy read more of Adams stories.

A Brilliant Read
Aside from the romance and the fairly surprising twist this book is a brilliantly written historical fiction based around real life events, the main characters are interesting and the action is fantastically written, this is a book I have read several times and is still very much a page turner for me.
